Review Body: Mr Hoang's knowledge comes from his childhood helping the family in their farm and growing up in the area. My younger child, 13, really enjoyed the rice de husking and used the machines over and over again. The older one 15, enjoyed the information that was shared. Making us appreciate the ingenuity behind rice at the table. The family's hospitality was so warm and being able to do out own pancakes made the food more delicious! Being able to cycle through the quieter lanes in between the padi fields with the breeze blowing was so pleasant despite the hot summer heat. It was a well balanced trip, including the crush of bamboo boats in the river as it's the peak of local tourism as well. Just gives insight to the opposite ends of tourism that exist.

Review Body: Beautiful bike ride from the hotel to the vegetables farm. A sweet lady (81 years old) showed us how to garden with a big smile. We went on to the boat ride which was somewhat touristic but fun to do. Afterwards we went eating/cooking at a family’s home in which we were warmly welcomed and where we had great food. Highly recommend it, people in hoian are even more friendly than in the rest of Vietnam we have seen until now.

Review Body: I enjoyed this tour very much! We started on a rainy day, but it didn't stop us from cycling through the beautiful villages. Mr Hoang is very knowledgeable, as he shared with us a lot about Vietnamese traditions and rural life. The tour had a mix of activities, which was fun and we never got bored. My favorite part was visiting his house and had a lovely lunch with his wife. Highly recommend this tour.

Review Body: My wife and I received an escort from our guide Mr Huang. First we went to visit local farmers to see how they grew vegetables and rice. This was followed by an excursion with the local fishermen. These were one of the highlights of our 12-day stay in Vietnam. What struck us most was the expertise, and the helpfulness of the amiable Huang. We highly recommend him and this excursion to him.

Review Body: Hoang and Vinh were great hosts who made this experience very enjoyable. They so kindly accommodated to many of our requests to make the trip a comfortable one for us. The stories they shared as we explored these famous sites introduced us to the long history of Vietnam, its culture, the daily lives of the Vietnamese people. We also got a view of the countryside, accompanied by a hearty home-cooked lunch which was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and highly recommend everyone to check this out too!

Review Body: Hoang was informative and passionate about sharing Hoi An's history. We learned a lot from his stories! He was also very accomodating when I told him that my father was not able to walk well and he was willing to tailor the tour to be more suited to our requirements. One of the highlights of the tour was definitely the home-cooked lunch we enjoyed at his house. It was one of the best meals we had on our trip and it was an eye-opening experience to be able to dine in a local's home in the peaceful countryside!

Review Body: Ella was amazing! She is super sweet and knowledgeable and also the lunch was delicious! She gave us a bunch of great recs for after our visit and even added in a quick coffee pit stop when we were very tired :) just a heads up, the marble mountains are pretty touristy so keep that in mind when booking. It can be overwhelming during high season, but still very cool to see. My Son is really amazing, highly recommend.

Review Body: We did the marble mountains and Son Tra Peninsula tour then booked another for the following day waking up early to see My Son temple before any crowds. Our tour guide, Susan, was very knowledgeable and friendly always offering to take photos of us in the best locations. The pace of the tour suited us as it was very hot and there was lots to see.i would highly recommend either of these tours.

Review Body: The tour was worth every penny. Tai is an excellent guide. He knew so, so much. He picked us earlier to enjoy empty My Son and made the experience unique. Also, the lunch at a local family was incredible. The idea of it seemed a bit too invasive but the reality was a delicious homemade meal made by a truly charming family. I would recommend 100%. The complete opposite to a tourist trap.

Review Body: We did the tour in June and it was extremely hot. However, the guide was friendly and tried his best to make the trip as comfortable as possible despite the heat. He was very patient with us as we took some time to complete the climb up the marble mountain. He maintained a balanced view throughout the tour. Overall, I was thankful that the guide was well-prepared for the heat :)

Review Body: This was a fantastic day out, although very very hot in June. You don't need long pants for either location, only covered shoulders for the marble mountain, so would recommend as cool clothing as possible. Our guide Thiu was fantastic, very knowledgable and personable, we had a lovely time with him even in the heat. Highly recommend!

He gave a very informative tour of My Son , taught us the rice story and then provided a delicious lunch in his family home. Above and beyond all expectations. We wish him and his family well.

Review Body: Once again, this tour, booked through Seek Sophie, delivered an enjoyable and stress free experience. Hoi An Eco Tourism guide, Hoang, and our friendly driver helped us navigate the sites flawlessly. We gained great insight and just enough exercise climbing through the caves and atop the hills.

Review Body: We had a blast going through My Son and the Marble mountains with our guide Vinh (I hope I spellend it right, if not sorry for that). He explained a lot about the history of both places, something we probably would have missed had we gone on our own.
